Cole Leinart, son of legendary QB Matt Leinart, makes his college football debut as SMU’s starting quarterback in their season opener against Florida State — a moment that sent his dad into emotional overdrive. Cole surprised everyone with a heartfelt video message on Fox Sports’ Big Noon Kickoff, thanking his dad and the show’s analysts for their unwavering support since he was just a kid. Matt, visibly moved, called it a “huge proud dad moment” and praised the team as a second family to Cole. As Monday night’s game unfolds, this isn’t just about football — it’s a powerful testament to the unbreakable bond between father and son, and how family love fuels even the biggest stages.
